He is referring to the period immediately following the bombing of Pearl Harbour in 1941, describing the event as a blessing in disguise, because it united all Americans.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The United States of America has been blessed with the world’s greatest political success formula. In a little over a century, this formula allowed a small segment of the human family—less than 6 percent—to become the richest nation on earth. It allowed them to create more than half of the world’s total output in production and enjoy the highest standard of living in the history of the world. In this book, we learn how the Founding Fathers discovered this success formula. Much of this discovery is told in the words of the Founders themselves, so that the reader can feel the power of their minds sweeping away thousands of years of bad government and illogical laws to formulate a whole new society based on human freedom. By returning to the roots of the Founders’ thinking, and contemplating the logic that they used in establishing the Constitution, we can better understand the challenges and solutions that confront us in today’s political world. This eBook includes the original index, illustrations, footnotes, table of contents and page numbering from the printed format.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Should prayer be allowed in public schools? Should biology be taught according to Darwin or to the book of Genesis? Why is polygamy against the law? These are just a few of the questions that touch our lives directly and emerge out of the separation of church and state. In this volume, one of the most distinguished scholars of American religious history traces the complicated relationship of church and state from the early colonial period, through the unique American experiment in religious liberty after the Revolution, to the ongoing debate over religious issues in our schools and communities. Edwin Gaustad relates entertaining and edifying accounts of headline-grabbing court trials involving polygamy, witchcraft, and church taxation. He quotes moving passages from the speeches and writings of American Presidents and Supreme Court justices to prove that, to paraphrase Michelangelo, "religious liberty is made up of a series of trifles, but religious liberty is no trifle."

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Scholars and popular authors regularly claim that Christianity, at least orthodox Christianity, has fostered oppression and intolerance. A common narrative is that liberty and equality have been advanced primarily when America’s leaders embrace progressive manifestations of religion or reject faith altogether. Proclaim Liberty Throughout All the Land demonstrates that Christianity is responsible for advancing liberty and equality for all citizens. Throughout American history, Christians have been motivated by their faith to create fair and just institutions, fight for political freedom, oppose slavery, and secure religious liberty for all. The New York Times’s 1619 Project is only a recent and prominent manifestation of the tendency of journalists, academics, and popular writers to portray American Christianity as a force of oppression and intolerance. Without shying away from the ways in which the Christian faith has been used to defend and even encourage harmful practices, Proclaim Liberty Throughout All the Land shows that it has far more often been a force for good. From the American Puritans—who created some of the most republican and free institutions the world had ever seen—to America’s founders’ opposition to slavery, to contemporary Christian legal advocacy groups that fight to protect religious liberty for everyone, this volume offers an important corrective to those who would downplay the role Christianity has played in advancing liberty and equality for all citizens.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →2015 marks the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta, a document iconic of the age-old fight for liberty against organized tyranny. But what has really changed since the thirteenth century? And how should Western society come to terms with the unprecedented challenges posed by central banking, mass surveillance, gay marriage, the substitution of education for job-training, and the abuse of federal power in relation to the states? In a unique and diverse compilation of essays, Proclaim Liberty offers thoughtful insight to these matters (and more) from a distinctly Christian perspective. Contributors include accomplished professors, lawyers, philosophers, historians, and activists who are proud but concerned citizens of the U.S. The book carves out new possibilities while also seeking to rediscover those areas of ancient tradition that desperately need present attention. Readers cannot but benefit from the wide variety of topics, tone, and approach in an original collection that addresses some of the most controversial topics of our time.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The biblical Jubilee that was celebrated once every fifty years is referred to in Leviticus 25 as the "Sabbath of Sabbaths". Its requirements included that the land lie fallow, all debts be forgiven, captives be freed, and a celebration held. Maria Harris considers the implications of a living Jubilee for today and for the next century. She offers a compelling argument that a living Jubilee is a comprehensive spirituality that would have a positive political, economic, and moral impact on individuals, families, religious congregations, institutions, and nations.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Liberty is a look at this noble subject from a historical as well as Biblical standpoint. The author begins with a look at the life of his 10th great grandfather, who was a Puritan minister, and traces the history of the growth of liberty in this nation. As one moves through the book, liberty is observed from the view of the government, the home, the church, and the soul. The book is designed to be used as a quarterly study, complete with discussion questions. "Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof" (Leviticus 25:10). Ron Milliner and his wife have worked in public education for over 50 years. They both have a passion for history. His other passion is science, and his previous book, Fake Evidence, was a historical look at the major evolution-creation court cases from the Scopes Trial to Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District. They both grew up in the Louisville, Kentucky area but have broadened their horizons, having visited all 50 states and several foreign countries. They brought back many of these experiences into the classrooms where they shared them with their students. Now retired, he enjoys the opportunities to visit with churches and share what he has learned in history and science from a spiritual viewpoint.
